Abstract

Starting from classical transport theory, equations for particle density, particle momentum and electron and ion temperatures are derived for steady-state, toroidal plasma configurations in a parameter regime like that of ACT-I. A set of simplified equations for particle density and electron and ion temperatures are solved numerically. Radial density and temperature profiles are shown and compared with experiments.
